Product Information

Stemolecule Forskolin is a natural compound produced by the Indian Coleus plant (Coleus forskohlii)¹. It is used in several differentiation protocols for its ability to potentiate neuron differentiation^2,3. Forskolin is able to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity and increases cyclic AMP⁴. Cyclic AMP is a signaling molecule and key regulator of critical enzymes in cellular processes⁵. For example, cAMP can bind to protein kinase A (PKA) regulatory subunit and activate PKA which acts as a negative regulator of the hedgehog signaling pathway⁶.
